Episcopal Relief & Development is an international relief and development agency and a compassionate response to human suffering on behalf of The Episcopal Church of the United States. Our work to heal a hurting world is guided by the principles of compassion, dignity and generosity. We take our mandate from the words of Jesus, found in Matthew 25: 37-40, that call us to feed the hungry, care for the sick and welcome the stranger. |
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me."
— Matthew 25:40 (NRSV, extracted from our mandate 25:37-40)
